I agree and I sure won't refrain from using AutoTune as a 'last resort' for emergencies.
The problem to me is rather WHY do we want to make everything smooth and 'perfect'? And if you reflect upon this you start to doubt that people really CHOOSE to do it. Isn't it more like: That's 'the ticket' these days, I want that 'radio sound', being 'up to date' etc. I guess the mainstream Nashville scene is the perfect example and it's especially sad there because Nashville's full of great musician who COULD very well keep their own time and their own pitch.
